Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

We all do, constantly, on a case by case basis. We know that if someone makes a sexist off color joke, they're probably just joking, and we can choose how much we want to validate or invalidate their tasteless joke. If someone is actively calling for the extermination of a specific group of people, we can decide on a case by case basis how severe our response should be to them.

There's nothing new here.

People always 'cancelled' societally unacceptable behaviour.

Sex before marriage. Baby outside wedlock. Wearing the wrong clothes. Loving the wrong people. Believing the wrong things. Discovering the wrong things. Asking the wrong questions. Drawing the wrong things. Consuming the wrong things. Giving shelter to the wrong people.

People have been 'cancelled' since society existed.

Exactly, this meme is nothing new.

Its all mob justice all the way down.
